Stow Golf Team Wins Sectional Tournament

The men's golf team is on a roll. 

After winning the and , the team also won the Candywood Sectional Golf Tournament Monday.

The Bulldogs finished with a team score of 300, which was 4 shots better than Aurora. (The results from the tournament are attached in the form of a .pdf to this post.)

It was chilly and the team battled against wet and soggy conditions, but came out on top in the 17-team tournament, said Coach Ken Miller.

Sophomore Ian Holt led the Bulldogs to victory with a one-over par 73 which was the lowest round by any of the 85 golfers and Senior Max DeCheco was one shot back at 74 in a tie for second place, said Miller.

Senior Captain Brandon Nixon's 75 put him in a tie for sixth overall and Senior Ryan Foster's 78 rounded out the Bulldog scoring, the coach said.

This is the first sectional tournament title for Stow since 1990 and the first ever for the long-time head coach.

"I am just so proud of the way the kids persevered in some pretty bad conditions," said Miller. "It would have been very easy to loose your composure, but our kids remained poised and got the job done."  

Because the team won the tournament, they advance to the Pine Hills District Golf Tournament.
